    Heropost Media
    It is great for managing multiple poster's social media accounts. I currently have four clients whose social media campaigns I manage. Heropost allows me to set up groups for each client so that I can schedule posts (of all different types of media) for their specific social media mixes. This is a terrific feature and makes my job a LOT easier.

    Where Publer is well suited: + Organisation of multiple social media accounts for when you have multiple brands + The integration of Google Maps makes it easy to organise multiple locations + Calendar with a nice overview makes it easy to see your social media planning for the following period of time Where it is less suited for: - Comparing competition and ideal posting time is quite a surplus in cost - No native Dutch version

    • A unified drag-and-drop calendar with genuine native previews allows us to bulk-upload images or videos, shuffle posts between dates and platforms, and see exactly how each platform (FB, IG, TikTok, Threads, etc.) will display before we hit “Schedule.”
    • Role-based approvals that streamline teamwork: interns draft, managers approve, and the audit trail ensures that nothing inconsistent slips through.
    • Quick-glance analytics built right into the calendar, surface engagement spikes, best-time suggestions and post-level stats without exporting to another tool, so we can tweak campaigns on the spot.

    Cons
    Heropost Media
    • Two social media outlets that DID work but no longer connect are Google Business and X (formerly Twitter). These need to be added back in. CRUCIAL!
    • Update Lifetime Access software option instead of abandoning it. Purchasers helped get Heropost off the ground...
    • I don't have any other issues with the software.

    • Some IG features are currently missing, like syncing with trending sounds, but I think that's more of an API limitation than a fault with Publer
    • The website interface can be a bit challenging to navigate. It isn't quite as intuitive as I'd like with where things are placed.
    • Some of the terms are confusing, like "recycling" and "recurring." I wish they'd combine these two particular posting options into one.
    • I'd also love to see better integration with my personalized AI, trained on my business.

    Usability
    Heropost Media
    Heropost is ALMOST perfect! Content creation, scheduling, posting and analytics are all right there! The ONLY drawback that I have found is that two of our main social media networks are not currently able to connect to Heropost, due to some API changes. I REALLY hope that these can get worked out. If they do, this rating goes to 10!

    The menu is very clear. The big green button for adding a post makes it obvious where to post from. There are all the tools I might need for scheduling, and more. I gave a 9 instead of 10 because I find the "Explore" menu to be superfluous for the way I use Publer and feel it adds clutter to the experience. But honestly - I can just not go to that menu and it's fine.

    These other apps like Hootsuite and Metricool are way to over priced and are glitchy to say the least. HeroPost seems to me to be the most solid and reliable work horse in the game. I use it daily and my team use it daily and it never lags or breaks. I would have to say that the heropost user interface is just fantastic

    In our opinion, Sendible is poorly designed and takes too many menus, clicks, opens and closes to perform a simple task. Their pricing structure changes suddenly with price increases and loss of seats. Socialbee was a contender but had restraints for a multi brand company that we did not want to workaround.
